I hate to give Nestor credit for anything, but last year WNST posted the schedule around 9 AM in the morning the day of the release show, and it was correct. And as I recall, the Sun even ran the schedule that afternoon, 3-4 hours before the program even aired.. So we are liable to see the schedule sometime tomorrow morning..

Ravens will play at Denver on the Opening Night (September 5th, game we should have been able to host)

Ravens will play their home opener (celebration) vs. NE on the 15th. (Not sure if it will be on SNF, but probably not)

Ravens will host the Steelers on Thanksgiving night

I heard that New England game is going to be a Monday night game.

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Schedule Release Date Announced

Here is how I see it:

It is going to be Denver for the opener.

And it is likely going to play out like our game at Houston last year. Houston was so full of piss and vinegar from us ousting them in the playoffs they came out like gangbusters. Now of course Cameron's stupid playcalling worsened the issue...but that is another argument.

To open at Denver will have so many momentum forces applied against up.
1) Denver home opener
2) Bitterness over playoff defeat
3) Addition of Wes Welker

I;m not saying we deserve more of a softball game (e.g. @ BUFF) to open the season, but we are really getting screwed here. Of course the NFL doesn't care about anything but ratings.

This just further pisses me off in regards to the whole scheduling conflict/Rosh Hash BS. We could easily open the year on Wed AT HOME like the SB champs should. Bastards.
